http://pressesc.com/01169672696_
"Ice ages are not caused by planet Earth's orbital variations as once thought, but by the dimmer switch inside the sun that causes its brightness to rise and fall on timescales of around 100,000 years which is exactly the same period as between ice ages on Earth, according to a radical new theory proposed by renowned astrophysicist Robert Ehrlich of George Mason University."

Think Your Doctor Knows Best? Think Medical Science is on Your Side? Think again!
http://avanoo.wordpress.com/2007/01/22/us-citizens-would-be-healthier-and-live-longer-lives-if/

"The average life expectancy in the United States is 77.85 years, which ranks forty-sixth highest in the world. Among the countries with higher life expectancies are Guam and Puerto Rico, both of which are under U.S. control, but don't have nearly the same "quality" of health care that is provided in U.S. states.

Per capita, more centenarians (people 100 or over) live in Dominica, a small third-world Caribbean island, than anywhere else. Most of them live active, rural lifestyles and have little or no access to Western medicine or health care.

How is it that the United States, which spends more money on health care than any other country, isn't able to compete with third world countries and territories that don't have nearly the same access to modern conveniences, modern medicines, or modern treatments?"
